Thanks ! I’m curious to know your viewpoint ! Do you notice more accidents than on standard junctions ? Is it really that confusing for newbies ?

I enjoy it! you can avoid lots of traffic and queuing if you take a different route around the whole roundabout.

Personally never witnessed an accident, but I have heard of them.

They tend to be caused by indecision or drivers speeding -- drivers that think that they have a right of way i.e when everyone has stopped, two people go onto a mini roundabout at once.

I think the whole point of the design is that there are fewer accidents at the same time as higher throughput.
